Review
Surface 11, Strings of Fate takes us to a surreal world of fantastical creatures. Where you are drawn into a war between three supernatural brothers! When a game of chance leads to two of them kidnapping your sister. Luckily, the third brother decides he’s going to help you rescue her.
This HOPA game has excellent bright crisp graphics, some good background music and sound FX. To create the right atmosphere for this otherworldly adventure.
The puzzles and hidden object games are good. Include a range of variety and challenge. And tie-in well with the story. And there’s a good amount of CE extra game play.
However the story is not as engaging as it should be, given the set-up. But instead derivative of previous Surface games. Also the dialog, especially from the brothers, is a bit humdrum. They are not convincing as powerful supernatural entities. Instead they come across as a bit tame and boring.
Overall, Surface 11 is an OK HOPA game. Visually excellent and good game play. But the story and characters were a bit bland.
